Wittenberg jumped out to an eight-goal lead by halftime and held on after a lengthy weather delay to maintain the top spot in the conference standings.
The Wittenberg women’s lacrosse team won the second half 9-7, but the strong effort was not enough to unseat Guilford College on Wednesday, as the Tigers fell by a final score of 19-16.
With 19 letterwinners, including four of the team's top five scorers, returning to the line-up, Wittenberg is picked to claim a first-ever conference championship in 2013.
